It's pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddling#post-51963 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:48:16 +0000 polkadots 51963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: this swaddle saved me last night! so glad you posted it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddling#post-49359 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 12:31:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 49359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No reason you couldn't try. It does take a while for them to get used to it and calm down in the swaddle so if it doesn't work right away maybe keep trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddling#post-49306 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:33:36 +0000 heffalump 49306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't hurt to try it. My LO used to hate when we put her in the swaddle, but once she was in there she always slept better (until she reached 2 1/2 months). So if he fights it at first I'd still try to keep him in it and see how he does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddling#post-49271 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:04:46 +0000 LivsMama 49271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it could work. Try it and see how he does. And if hes breaking out of the traditional swaddle, try this method. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOnsKlluHIg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOnsKlluHIg</a></p> <p>we used that when Liv started breaking out. She CAN get out of that, but it usually takes hours., so we started overlaying it with the woombie. </p> <p>Regardless, give it a try, he might find it soothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddling#post-49220 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:58:25 +0000 baby98765 49220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you start swaddling a 3.5 month old? We stopped when he was about 5-6 weeks because he hated it. He would grunt and kick for 30-45 minutes when we would put it on and after a few nights of finding him busted out of it wearing it around his neck like a cape, we stopped. He sleeps amazing at night but naps are another story. It takes ages to get him into the nap because he flails and kicks and then he always wakes up after 30-40 minutes which I assume is his one sleep cycle. He's exhausted all day long. I wonder if swaddling him for naps would help keep him from waking himself up but would it even work this late in the game? </p>
